Two weeks ago, the Israeli Knesset passed a law that grants the Minister of the Interior powers to deport family members of terrorists, including Israeli citizens. Passed amongst a slew of other headline grabbing laws, it constitutes a significant expansion of current deportation powers that contravenes both Israeli constitutional law and international law. As death, destruction and naked violence overshadow all conversation, legal or otherwise, it may seem ludicrous to shine a light on this particular law and its illegality. But the logic of this law, its instrumentalization of legitimate security concerns to not just deny the rights and membership status of minority groups but attack the foundations of a constitutional system, is not unique to contemporary Israeli politics. As such, this logic needs confronting and refuting, and this law presents an important opportunity to do so.
